Big masonry drill bits (not SDS)
I need to drill a couple of holes (cavity wall) from the loft gable end to outside to pass cables through. I decided it would be neater, easier and better to drill a 25mm hole, slightly angled so it doesn't "rain in" and fit a piece a pvc tubing (to prevent the cable chafing on the entry and exit) rather than drill a number of small holes (one for each cable). I have a set of long masonry bits that go up to 12mm so a can start with those. I thought it would be easy to find a long 25mm bit. It was. One such beast is a Rawlplug 32-350 at 35mm x 300mm but I can't find any website that specifies the shank diameter. I could email/phone a supplier but I thought I'd just ask here on the off chance one of you has such a drill and can tell me. TIA Barry -- The easiest thing to grow in a garden is tired. |
